bumper guard trim

I saw this on a TL in Chesterfield Missouri. He has like a flexable plastic bumper trim that is hard to the touch.It looks custom cut with no gaps in the trim line. Does any one know where to find these trim peices? I'm considering getting this for my rear bumper because I don't have a back up camera.






Older Audi car with similar looking trim.




Thats me in the background.

Car make ID fail.

It's hideous on the AM. It might not be as fugly on NBP, but your car looks nice and clean, IMO it'd booger it up to put those guards on, no matter how practical they might be.

yeah, don't do it. just be careful when you drive instead. How many miles have you had and how many things have you backed up into?

Looks terrible IMO.

If you are that worried about backing into cars/objects, that money would be better spent on driving lessons.

if you need a bumper guard, there is no point in wasting money on mods and you shouldn't have a license.

I'm going to get a back up camera if I do anything. Oops that is a volvo.
I just had my car detailed saturday and she is smooth as glass. The swirls are a lot less noticable. Hey are you going to that import meet at sonic in the valley on thursday?

aww lawd . whatever your trying to protect ure car from will most likely do more damage with those rubber "bumpers" on then it would without them. judging from the thickness on them, i'd assume they would probably distribute the stress the the impact across a larger surface area and instead of touchin up a simple knick or scratch, you could be lookin forward to taking all that crap off & have a bigger issue waitin for you underneath

I'd personally rather drive around with all sorts of scuffs and scrapes all over my rear bumper from hitting trees and trash cans than to rock this crap.
